Uptown Boys Choir

When they aren't playing for a wide variety of other bands, DC-based bassist and songwriter Kevin de Souza, keyboardist Joel Hicks, guitarists Tony Porreco and Kate Potrykus, and drummer Ben Tufts perform their own blend of punk, pop, and Americana under the name Uptown Boys Choir.

Tonight! We're really excited to have The Moon and You and The Beanstalk Library join us at Acre 121. This is a free event, right next to the Columbia Heights metro. Music starts at 9, goes until midnight. See you there?

You're probably going to be up for a mid-week break. Come get yours next Wednesday when we play Buckeye and Bear in Dupont Circle. $10 cover gets you all the Flying Dog beer you care-to-drink during our set from 8:30-9:30!

We're trying to make music that deals with what happens when the real world hits idealism in its pretty millennial face. If you like it and want more people to hear it, please take a moment to nominate us for this thing.
For the purposes of the form (and just FYI), we are on Twitter and Instagram: @uptownboyschoir

Sadly (but understandably), tonight's show at The Velvet Lounge is snowed out! We'll miss you and we hope to rock with French Admirals and Feral Conservatives soon.
Stay safe and warm, and come see us February 20 at the Black Cat DC with Dear Creek and Junior League!

Help us kick off 2016 in style this Saturday at The Velvet Lounge! We'll be playing with French Admirals and their Richmond labelmates Feral Conservatives, and it's just $8! Don't miss it.

Thanks to The Noctonals and the super-attentive, super-awesome standing-room-only crowd at the Athenaeum for a great time last night! Hoping to be back in that room amongst a new crop of cool/scary installation art very soon.
